  • Universal Orlando reached out to me with a BIG challenge -- can we go to EVERY one of their hotels in one day? And can we review their signature food & drinks along the way? Challenge happily accepted! Join Molly as she makes her way across all 8 Universal Orlando hotels, reviewing specialty dishes and drinks along the way. From a literal boat-load of fresh sushi to hand-crafted cocktails, we guarantee you'll be surprised at some of the dishes the Chefs are whipping up in the kitchens! And speaking of the Chefs - we're chatting with them with some exclusive interviews throughout the video.
    Thank you to Universal Orlando and Loew's Hotels for inviting us to make this exclusive video and coordinating an amazing video shoot!

      @@erwinchan6077 An invite is different from a sponsorship...Molly was invited i.e. got the experience for free. If she'd been sponsored, Universal would have actually PAID her for the reviews and she'd have to mark the vid.

      Tbh, it feels like this is Mammoth Club's 'graduation' video and it's kinda disappointing. There's nothing wrong with partnering with Universal for content, but this video just felt like Molly was interviewing an employee and showcasing the food. It has nothing to do with Molly's personal likes, dislikes, fun facts, opinions or otherwise... it's literally just a commercial for Universal and that's not what I'm here for.

      I really enjoyed this video. It is a little different, but so interesting to see how all the different resorts do their food offerings. I've seen Molly do things like this when she was on the other channel, which I still watch, before she and the guys made Mammoth Club, so this video didn't even phase me.
      Keep up the great work Molly, Alan and Max! I'm really enjoying this. I'm so happy with how you're thriving and can't wait to see how far you'll soar.

    This was really refreshing after just watching a video showcasing Space 220 at Disney, which cost $30 for just a kids mac and cheese. I loved hearing the chefs here talk about their passion for food while keeping it cost effective for guests. So many people are struggling right now and we all know that that is when people need feel-good entertainment most. It's nice to see it not exploited in every monetary way possible.

    Universal’s marketing team knows what they are doing - genius. I have never stayed at a Universal but I am planning now . Thinking maybe 2 nights at a premier resort to do the main parks and 2-3 nights at cabana bay to volcano bay, spend some time in the lazy river maybe commute Disney to hit up an Epcot festival. Excited for more universal staycation content! Especially at the value and moderate levels, it looks like a much nicer experience compared to Disney - especially since I don’t have kids!

    • @nicolefink4240
      @nicolefink4240 Год назад +2

      Was thinking the same thing! Stay at a premier resort for two nights to get the express pass for three days and then hop over to cabana bay for some low key time at Volcano Bay or Disney Springs.

      @knottynumbers44 Год назад

      I stayed at Hard Rock last year for HHN, and just this week stayed at Cabana Bay for a Volcano Bay visit - loved both experiences. So nice to be able to walk into the parks, have early entry, getting Express Pass included for the Hard Rock stay, and they both happen to be very fun hotels with great amenities of their own. Your plan is 100%. (P.S. I dont have kids either)

    Alan is probably kicking his butt for not being present with Molly having a sushi boat. Molly is definitely not sad at having a cold brew or samplings of alcoholic drinks and sampling the lovely food at Universal. I enjoyed the white woman with chopsticks.😂 I feel the same way about chopsticks, I’m not always graceful with them. Thank you Molly for taking one for the Mammoth team for us. I really really enjoy these long videos. Mammoth club make it worth watching all the information. I enjoyed Molly interviewing of the chef’s. Just like all these videos you always make me want to go back and visit these places. Thank you Mammoth club.

    Oh, I would love for you to do the staycation at Portofino Bay because it is so luxurious and you do feel like you are transported to an Italian village. Bonus.- I challenge you to find the laundry on your own without any assistance from other guests or staff members. May the odds be ever in your favor
